Lyrics[]
Toki ga bokura wo damasu
Kimi no chou wa kieta
Hatenaku meguru MANDELBROT
Kakikae nagara sono saki e to...
WHY? musakui ni tsumitorare aa kowasareta
GATE zetsubou no saki ni shika kotae wa nai
GEOMETRIC SPACE
Michi ga bokura wo maneku
Ai no sakebi ga kienai
Samayoi aruku CALCULATION
VOID no saki ni mieta mono wa...
WHY? fujouri ni torawarete aa erabenai
GAME yokubou ni nagasarete mahi shite yuku
GEOMETRIC TERM
WHAT? muchitsujo ni misekaketa sou FRACTAL
GAUGE furikitte kakenuketa kiseki ga ima yobisamasu yume
Owari no nai
GEOMETRIC SPACE
時が 僕らを だます
キミの 徴は 消えた
果てなく巡る Mandelbrot
書き換えながら その先へと･･･
Why? 無作為に つみ取られ ああ 壊された
Gate 絶望の 先にしか 答えは無い
Geometric space
ミチが 僕らを 招く
アイの 叫びが 消えない
彷徨い歩く calculation
Void の先に 見えたものは･･･
Why? 不条理に 囚われて ああ 選べない
Game 欲望に 流されて 麻痺してゆく
Geometric term
What? 無秩序に 見せかけた そう fractal
Gauge 振り切って 駆け抜けた 軌跡が今 呼び醒ます夢
終りの無い
Geometric space
(English translation provided by Andrew Hodgson "Steiner")
Time deceives us As your presence fades away
The endlessly revolving Mandelbrot Overwrites all that once was, pushing us onwards...
Why? I pulled a thread at random, and it all fell apart The Gate, the answer lingers in the depths of despair Geometric space
We are led down this road Where those longing screams still linger
Wandering around, lost in calculation That which can be seen beyond the void...
Why? Trapped in absurdity, unable to decide Game, my greed consumes me, and I gradually grow numb Geometric term
What? I pretend to trigger the chaos; a fractal Gauge, break through those restraints, for that path calls upon our dream A limitless... Geometric space
